The smart government market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the size of the smart government market has experienced the rapid expansion. Its worth is set to increase from $37.67 billion in 2024 to $43.8 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%.
The growth during the historic period is a result of digital transformation projects, the utilization of data analytics to facilitate informed decision-making, the introduction of open data initiatives, improvements in smart infrastructure and urban planning, the adoption of blockchain for improved security and transparency, and advancements in emergency response and public safety.
The smart government market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for smart government is projected to experience a considerable increase in the coming years. It is estimated to reach $95.24 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.4%.
This growth during the forecast period can be due to several factors including the need for emergency response and resilience planning, the implementation of digital identity solutions, a heightened focus on privacy and data security, the adoption of cloud computing platforms for scalability, and a concentration on smart city projects. Significant trends for the forecast period encompass the acceleration of digital transformation, the amalgamation of IoT for smart infrastructure, an intensified focus on cyber security and data protection, the application of blockchain for enhanced transparency and security, initiating smart city and urban planning projects, the creation of open data initiatives for transparency, and the execution of renewable energy and sustainability schemes.
The plunge in smart government technologies investments tends to enhance the smart government market's expansion. A global surge in the governmental organizations' expenditure on network management, cybersecurity, and other smart government aspects aims to provide reliable, effective, and secure services to the citizens. For example, in August 2024, The Office for National Statistics (ONS), an executive entity of the UK Government, disclosed that a staggering sum of $1.476 billion has been set aside from 2020 to 2025 for the deployment of gigabit-capable broadband to 85% of the UK populace by 2025, intending to extend 100% coverage by 2030. By 2022, they've already consumed $534 million, with an excess of $905 million reserved for spending from 2023 to 2025. Hence, the surge in investment in smart government technologies is predicted to propel the need for smart government platforms and solutions in the upcoming years.
